Deck the Hall

Deck the Hall will boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la,‘Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la,Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la, la la la,Troll the ancient Yuletide Carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la.See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la,Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la, la la la la,Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la, la la la la,While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow,In a one horse open sleigh,O’er the fields we go,Laughing all the way.Bells on bobtail ring,Making spirits bright,What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight!Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!A day or two ago,I thought I’d take a ride,and soon Miss Fanny BrightWas seated by my side.The horse was lean and lank,Misfortune seemed his lot.We got into a drifted bank and then we got upsot!Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh!

A Holly and Jolly Sing-Along!

The Holly and the Ivy

The holly and the ivy,When they are both full grown,Of all the trees that are in the wood, the holly bears the crown.O the rising of the sun and running of the deer,The playing of the merry organ sweet singing in the choir. Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul,With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.Frosty the Snowman is a fairytale they say.He was made of snow, but the children know how he came to life one day.There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found,For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around.Oh, Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way,But he waved goodbye saying don’t you cry, I’ll be back again someday.Thumpety thump thump, thumpity thump thump, look at Frosty go. Thumpety thump thump, thumpey thump thump, over the hills of snow. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeerHad a very shiny nose.And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows.All of the other reindeerUsed to laugh and call him names.They never let poor RudolphJoin in any reindeer games.Then one foggy Christmas Eve,Santa came to say:“Rudolph with your nose so bright,Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”Then all the reindeer loved himAs they shouted out with glee,“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,You’ll go down in history!”

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas;We wish you a Merry Christmas;We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.We wish you a Merry Christmas;We wish you a Merry Christmas;We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
